- Summary:
-
The study sought to determine barriers that impede college of education faculty members' involvement in grant-related research activities. An initial questionnaire completed by 54 college of education faculty at a large public university was designed to determine faculty experience in applying for and/or obtaining external funding for research. Structured interviews were then conducted with 15 faculty members with a wide range of experience in working with grants. Although faculty members viewed grants activity as being important, many did not routinely pursue external funding due to the following impediments: (1) lack of time, (2) lack of information about funding sources, (3) lack of procedural information, (4) and lack of a clearly defined system of rewards for those who obtain external funding. A general lack of clarity as to the place of grantsmanship in the overall scheme of the college's expectations for faculty was a commonly expressed concern. Faculty also expressed the need for technical assistance and assistance in the physical preparation of proposals. Recommendations include college establishment of a clearly defined reward system for those involved in grantsmanship activities, release time for faculty to pursue grants, and administrative support for the grant writing and implementation process. 14 references.
